Its final edition ran in 2014; the 2015 festival was canceled and the event has not returned
What people love
Attendees remember the festival grounds as among the best on the circuit, with short, shaded walks between stages and a strong late-night campground culture, and they rate the overall experience and funk-and-jam programming very highly
Last time around (2014)
The most recent held edition took place in November 2014, closing a run remembered for its funk, jam, blues and soul lineup; the following year's festival was canceled and it has not returned since
